"We know drama" is something of a motto in 4chan /mlp/. How can we learn more about friendship problems (drama)? One way is by looking at various drama events then explaining the lessons that we learned, like naming the dialectics and stuff. Understanding this stuff is important because over MLP-related history, drama events sometimes stand out. Ideas from crap that I watched ( watched all of https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=s4BFIDYYYCA + watched about 1/2 of https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=m9fkdpmJD4o + watched all of https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=0pT-dWpmwhA ):
(a) Being uncritical in a discourse vs. trying to understand the complexity of it
(b) Being rude towards those who do important work but rarely get much thanks for it vs. not
(c) "Stealing" high-effort things and using them to benefit yourself vs. not

Thoughts on (a): I don't like DarkViperAU for some reasons and disagree with him on reaction videos, but I gotta agree that not being dismissive and simplifying things in a drama situation can be important. One of the reasons one would essentially say "that guy criticizing me is just an idiot or is completely wrong because he's x" is because it feels good or is satisfying. This is a false satisfaction if you've shown yourself to not really understand the situation. You can make such a simple claim ("this guy is an asshole" or whatever), but it will only be true and justly feel good if you have demonstrated that you at least understand the entire situation. I have likely been guilty of making snap judgments on things/individuals because it feels good to think I really know the thing/entity and categorize it as whatever, positive or negative. However, maybe I never realized that I didn't really understand it and that was a psychological failure to reason better.

(b): Users ought to/should be more respectful to each other. Maybe it's dumb to value respect so much, but that's kinda how I think. Perhaps it's part of my culture, like "honor culture" or whatever it's called.

(c): DumbViperAU is wrong about reaction videos. Similar to how communists say that such and such is exploitation and Postmodernists put an essentially negative view on heterosexual sex (framing it in terms of power relations and nothing else), it's a matter of perspective and comes down to what quality of a thing you determine to be the essential truth of it. (First, reaction videos aren't "stealing"; stealing would be taking Pinkie Pie's one-of-a-kind cake under the cover of darkness, so only the thief has the object at that point and no one else. A reupload of a live video means that two copies exist in the world for now.) Second, this is the type of "abuse" or "exploitation" that I don't care much about. Solutions to this supposed problem could be bad for the Internet.

Reminds me of artist being angry about users copying their works to boorus. I say screw their DNP/DMCA, because information wants to be free and "the more data the better". Something along those lines, I think I wrote about that before. Also, it's funny how AI can make artwork which is as good as or better than the art that some human artists were getting so butthurt that people were "stealing" and reposting to whatever site. That generative AI puts those artists in their place. Even in a case were it was train on data that everyone 100% consented to it training on, it could still basically make art as good as it does. If an artificial thing can synthesize such art from looking at a bunch of described art, and a human can only make crappy art and get angry about it being reposted, that speaks volumes about how art isn't that hard or special of a thing to make. AI art may be slop in some cases so I know there's something of a difference when art has a "human"/"hand-crafted" element to it.
